Establishment of the Institute for Competitive Manufacturing, College of Engineering, Urbana

(9) The chancellor at Urbana, upon the recommendation of the Urbana-Champaign Senate, has approved a proposal from the College of Engineering to formalize the establishment of an Institute for Competitive Manufacturing (ICM). The ICM has been in existence as a pilot program in the UIUC Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering since September 1988. Based on the success of the pilot program and the support it has received from the Board of Higher Education, it is therefore appropriate to formalize its status as a program. The ICM is designed to facilitate a strategic alliance among education, business, labor, and government, created for the purpose of assisting small- and medium-sized firms in the State of Illinois to improve their competitiveness by utilizing the resources of the higher education community in the State. It will support and maintain an active outreach program aimed at making the resources of the University of Illinois — its students, faculty, libraries, and laboratories — more accessible to Illinois business and industry. The ICM will draw upon the resources of other University units such as the Library, the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, Department of Speech Communication, and the College of Commerce and Business Administration. The ICM will support its education, technology transfer, and research mission with five basic types of activities including industrial development and improvement
